SALEM
Wildlife agencies are urging pet and aquarium stores to remove âBetta Buddy Marimo Ball,â a moss plant for aquariums, after invasive zebra mussels were discovered inside the product.
ODFW was recently alerted about this situation after hearing about a Seattle PetCo employee finding the zebra mussels attached and inside âBetta Buddy Marimo Ballâ moss plants. ODFWâs Invasive Species Program supervisor also visited a store in the Salem area today and found viable zebra mussels in the product (see photos below). These stores have since removed the product from their shelves.
Consumers are also urged to stop buying this product and to safely dispose of it by either freezing or boiling the moss ball before disposing of it in the trash (do not flush down toilet or throw outside as mulch). For your aquarium, after removing the fish, apply household bleach (one cup of bleach per gallon of water) and let it set for 10 minutes before disposing of water down sin

When the Dutch-themed Windmill Brewing opened at 2121 Gettler St. in the shadow of the neighboring Franciscan Health hospital, the owners knew the barley and wheat they used for brewing would be a magnet for mice. So they looked to address the issue in the traditional, time-honored way that breweries have deployed over the centuries: by getting a cat. It s a large, warm building with sacks of grain, owner Justin Verburg said. As a brewery, we wanted to be eco-friendly and use a natural pest control option. There s a long history of mice being drawn to breweries since our ingredients are their food. Breweries have long had a symbiotic relationship with cats.

One thing is certain about Glacier National Park in 2021Â â the road crew clearing the Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully staffed and active.
Everything else, from how many campgrounds might be available to whether the east side will open at all, remains a work in progress.
The park might try a new ticketed entry system to reduce bottlenecked crowds. Hotel restaurants might have indoor seating, or switch to curbside-only. Seasonal employees might stay in tents this year, or try to find short-term rentals outside the park.
The continuing challenges of a COVID-19 pandemic leave lots of unknowns to ponder as spring and the short tourist season approach, according to GNP spokeswoman Gina Kerzman.
